Wills and Probate
Dear Len & Rosie,
My father-in-law is a shrewd businessman who owns hundreds of acres of land and is worth millions. He's also difficult to talk to and says he has a will, end of story. He says he doesn't care what the kids have to go through after he dies because he'll be dead! My husband has three other siblings, two who live on Dad's property.
My husband also has an unpaid child support arrearage from 20 years ago when he was in an accident and didn't know that he had to go to court to stop support payments while he was injured. When my father-in-law passes away, there will be a big mess.
Is there anything we can do? My husband's siblings want to sell it all after their father's death and pocket the money, but they seem blissfully unaware of taxes and probate
